Just waiting to upgrade my exhaust for sound (high pitch prefered) and performance.

 

"GothStyle" black wheel caps are mandatory on any black 355!

+1. I have the SRI gold plated connector kit installed. And my interior de-stickified.

Many good things from Hill Engineering too, to include the clutch throw out bearing and timing belt tensioner bearings.

 

TubiStyle exhaust
Larini test pipes
De-gutted secondary cat
K&N air filters
De-stickified interior
Hill engineering´s carbon sills, throw-out bearing + flange, wheel bolts, suspension actuator gears, tensioner bearings... pretty much anything from hill engineering is a must
Challenge grill (Actually waiting for it to arrive)

 

Those center caps are awesome !!!!! I definitely need a set of those ........

 

I think I could have bought a Scuderia from what I spent.
Moton shocks ,Challange sway bars ,Challange sway bar links, Challange PS pump, (have a Challange steering rack yet to be installed), Stoptech 355mm front and 330mm rear brakes
2 sets of Challange wheels, 1 set of HRE rims, R Compound tires
Full Carbon Fiber center console, and instrument panel faces
GruppeM intake ,Hyperflow cats, full head rebuild by Enginefixer along with ported heads and intakes, new pistons and valves, guides and liners, Fabspeed headers, Gothspeed dual valve exhaust.
I really love the Gothspeed exhaust. It really maximized all the engine mods.

 

What are those two short hoses with different diameter ends for?? Heat exchanger?

Yes, heat exchanger on top of engine. Not sure if the Ricambi silicone hose kit includes those now, but did not 2.5 years ago when I bought Daniels kit. I ended up using more of the oem for that...hopefully they last another 10 years. Hell on the next major I may just ditch them all and get Dave Helms kit!

 

I actually think that looks cool.

 

Thanks for the info. Barely looks like there is enough room on the big end of the H.E. hoses to put a clamp on. Or do they attach with some other method?

I would be happy to get rid of the whole heat exchanger if all it's doing is providing quicker warm-up of the gear oil. Would rather deal with that than an internal failure of the H.E. causing water contamination of the gear oil.

 

Hey! I know that car!

 

Those two hoses attach to the long small diameter hoses to make a rum bong for Dave when he goes to Jamaica "to get away from it all"!

 

Hmmmmm.... No need to travel any longer, every other building in Boulder is a grow house these days. I met with the owner of a very big nationwide laboratory equipment supplier we used for fuel testing Lab equipment a few weeks back. He said to go with the flow.... his business quadrupled when he started holding classes on making Bongs and Pipes with high grade Lab Glass. He has one 5 ft. table top setup that looks like it came out of a Frankstein movie.

High temp, extremely low permeation rates..... you might be on to something. I need another meeting with the engineers and my insurance rep... they will flip their lids with this!

 

Stub your toe AGAIN?! Morning Coffee is your friend.

 

Waaaahahahahaaaaa!

 

Big Brake Kit hauls her down like hand of God along with 255/19" Mercedes SLR front tires and 325/20" rear tires mounted on ultra-lightweight wheels: Modified computer; tubi exhaust, hyperflow cats, lightweight battery, lightweight Daytona-style seats. Black and Silver carbon fiber door sills; Challenge grill: Working on spun aluminum trim pieces to cover black plastic cheap looking stuff. Faster than 360 Spider and handles better as well! Best sounding Ferrari V8. Period!

Nice looking seats and wheels

Did you weigh the wheels before fitting the tires? Curious about the weight.

What kinds of aluminum pieces are you considering making/having made? Will they be one-offs or available to "The Sisterhood"?

 

Nice mods; are this original SLR wheels? Any modifications to get 19" front and 20" rears wheels? Are the seats factory upgrades or aftermarket?

 

I'd hope so.

 

This would be the number one mod in my opinion, now can we see a picture of this on an actual car?

 

I covet the seats in a big way!! Would you tell me where you acquired them, and if installation, particularly top clearance and seat tracks, were a problem? Beautiful mod there, along with many others!
